What config preferences would cause an addon's option button to not fire?

The Addon Context Search X is not working in my default profile, Firefox ver 34. Some of the option buttons won't fire but all other addons and links are clickable. Yet the addon works in a new profile I created for diagnosing the problem. Disabling all addons in the default hasn't resolved the issue. The problem may not be an addon but one of the config preferences, but I don't know which one. Which preferences in particular might be the cause of this behavior?

Hello skippdiddly, maybe not related but you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js file].
The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write in the file also).
thank you

    Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
    The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

  • ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

    iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
    Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
    9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
    I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
    with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
    policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
    When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
    work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
    an unknown domain.
    I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
    root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
    then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
    OK: Policy file accepted:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
    Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
    seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
    cause any problems, but see
    http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
    for an explanation.
    Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
    xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
    requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
    lack of policy file permissions.
    Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
    anyway.
    PS: I found the XML schema files here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
    and the socket policy schema:
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
    UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
    example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
    and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
    the IMAP server.

  • What would cause an OAM file placed in InDesign not to show up in Adobe Viewer?

    I have created an OAM file using edge animate. The file works perfectly when I preview it in the browser through edge. I placed it in indesign and added the timing to start automatically on page load.
    I have many other OAM files on other pages that I have done exactly the same way and they all work perfectly. BUT this time it just won't play and when you open the page in the viewer. In fact,  it is not there at all. It's just blank.
    Does anyone know what can cause this?
    PLEASE HELP I have tried every thing.
    Thanks Angel

    Hey Angel,
    Are you using the desktop or the iPad viewer? The desktop one can be a bit wonky sometimes, try it out on the device first and see if you're still seeing the problem.

  • I would like the bookmark (drop version) button to not have text beside it saying "Bookmarks"

    I love the new FireFox 4. Looks great. Feels great. Top of the game. Best browser ever.
    There are two versions of the bookmark(s) button. The 1st is just a folder/star icon that when pressed, opens up a panel with your bookmarks. I hate that one. Never use it.
    The 2nd is similarly a folder/star icon, but functions as a dropdown menu. That version, I love. Problem is, it (the bookmark button itself) ALWAYS has text beside it saying "Bookmarks" -- hogging up my toolbar space. Is there any way to remove said text?
    There used to be an add-on that replaced or added a new dropdown bookmark button to the customize menu, but it's not compatible with the latest FF.
    I can't help but think there's an easier way than creating/installing a WHOLE addon just to remove some (1 word) of text.
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers.
    EDIT: I would also like to add, that yes, I'm not a noob, and have the "Show: Icons (only)" option enabled within the Customize Toolbar menu -- it STILL shows text for only this (bookmarks dropdown) button.

    Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

    When I send a text, it goes through as a "text message" instead of an "imessage" and the person I am texting has an iPhone. what could be the cause of this problem?

    It's not enough for the other person to just have an iPhone. They must be on iOS 5, have iMessage enabled and connected to the Internet.

  • Clicking on add ons options button causes the add on window to hang on version 3.6.3 but no problem on 3.5

    Add on window hangs every time I select the options button
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded from firefox 3.5 to 3.6.3

    I am having the same problem under 3.6.11. I have checked ALL of my add-ons and they HAVE chrome.manifest files. This bug may resemble the one in 529655, but it is not a duplicate because it is not functioning the same way. It may be failing in the same way because it is not finding the chrome.manifest files, not because they don't exist.
    Also, my extensions do not appear to be functioning, whether I can access the options button or not. I have been using Greasemonkey for a long time, and it has worked perfectly. When I updated to 3.6.11, I noticed that the icon was no longer present, and this option-button bug surfaced for ALL add-ons. Also, my Delicious.com addon ceased to function at the same time, and could not be reactivated.
    I suspect this may have something to do with the functionality recently installed to prevent "stealth" installs of add-ons. I would suggest looking in that area, where it might be overlapping the code that checks the location of the chrome.manifest file and the validity of the add-on at startup. The add-ons aren't starting at all, valid options cannot be accessed, and the problem started about the time the whole Microsoft stealth add-on issue (NO, I DON'T want to debate whether it was actually a "stealth" add-on or not, THANK YOU -- trolls kindly remain under your bridges!) came up.

  • What would cause Safari to stop running Adobe Flashplayer?

    What would cause Safari to stop running Adobe Flashplayer? It's on my computer. It works with other browsers. Most websites don't complain. When I ask them to show me stuff, however,  it comes out looking like a math problem written in Turkish or Romanian.
    What about pdf files? Same thing.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Security
    and check the box marked Allow other plug-ins.

  • TS3408 What on the Router or DNS server would cause this?

    Good information and easy steps to resolve. My question is, what is wrong with my DNS or Router that is causing an issue with Pre-Fetching? An ideas on what would cause the issue?

    Not all DNS severs prevent pre fetching.
    Try this...
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Or try the terminal command from that link.

  • I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

  • When trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup.  What would cause this?

    when trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup.  What would cause this?  Better yet, how do I fix it?

    I have checked this on my device.  I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account.  There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account.  If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?

  • DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

    What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
    I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

  • I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

    I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

  • What would cause my Game Center app to stop working ?

    What would cause my Game Center app to stop working &amp; other apps to just shut off .

    I've attached a stripped down version of the subVI which handles the UDP connection.
    In the Init and Disconnect cases, I've had to remove the startup and shutdown commands as that's protected info, but they are just fixed U8 arrays.  The subVI does not have any incoming errors when executed by itself or as part of the main VI nor does the Init case generate any errors.  Also, the UDP Open and UDP Write functions process a nonzero Connection ID.
    Let's see, what else?  The Init and Disconnect cases operates just once at the beginning and end, as you might expect.  While the Read case operating at 1x/sec during normal operation.
    Let me know if there's any more insight I can provide.
